Endothelin-converting enzyme 1 levels (ECE1.3611.70.4)

PCOLCE2 · rs4683701

What the study found

Who was studied 3,301 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.32 higher (95% confidence interval 0.28-0.36); p = 2 × 10−38.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 37% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3q23 — in an intron of PCOLCE2.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Endothelin-converting enzyme 1 levels (ECE1.3611.70.4) compared to the general population.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Endothelin-converting enzyme 1 levels (ECE1.3611.70.4).
T/T Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Endothelin-converting enzyme 1 levels (ECE1.3611.70.4) — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs4683701

What is rs4683701?

rs4683701 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PCOLCE2 gene. Published research associates it with endothelin-converting enzyme 1 levels (ece1.3611.70.4). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs4683701 mean I will get this?

No. Common variants like this one move a probability slightly and, on their own, rarely decide anything about one person. Nothing on this page is a diagnosis, and health decisions should be made with a clinician who can see your whole picture.

Where does the information about rs4683701 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature 2018, PMID:29875488. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
